Dragonfly Teas - Afternoon Tea

Afternoon Tea - the new going out

Recently Afternoon Tea has been called the ‘new going out’ and tea referred to as the new, smart coffee. Fine quality teas, accompanied by delicious cakes, scones and sandwiches, are all becoming increasingly popular. With this in mind, we have paired some of our luxury teas with traditional Afternoon Tea fare.

The Perfect Afternoon Tea Menu

White Tea - Brownies or chocolate chip cookies, anything with chocolate. The darker the chocolate, the more delicious the combination.

Moonlight Jasmine and Jasmine Dragon Pearls Tea - Pastries or flapjacks. Jasmine is an exquisite match with slightly fatty foods.

English Breakfast, Darjeeling, Earl Grey - Scones or afternoon tea sandwiches, a truly classic combination. Try Rooibos Breakfast, Evening Blend and Earl Grey for naturally caffeine free alternatives.

Moroccan Mint Green Tea - Pistachio, sesame seed and honey cakes, all a great match for this refreshing tea.

Traditional Indian Chai or Cape Malay Rooibos Chai – Dundee and Banana Cakes. The fruit helps to enhance the luxurious spices of these teas.

Pu’er Tea - Round off any meal with this traditional and intriguing Chinese digestif.
